QUOTES LATE DECEMBER 2015

"The universe, (in this sense of immortality with disposable worlds), is disposable, until it stops being dangerous!" ---Nathan Coppedge, via Quora, Dec 2015


"When it comes to perpetual motion, people are saying it's human nature to think the impossible. But I solved all paradoxes!" ---Nathan Coppedge

“[Paroxysm: 2nd Formulation] Equated with the problem, while contesting the obvious. With a subtle problem, the solution must be obvious. This points towards the use of opposites.” ---Nathan Coppedge


"Panic is always good. We can live up to that ideal, even if it isn't understood." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Maybe cold is to the second dimension what heat is to the third dimension... what identity is to the first dimension. The physical patterns of the first three dimensions seem to shape a number '7' the last element being the short end, surrounded by a circle. The fourth dimension thus must ignore the first two dimensions unless it involves perspective. Cold is the paradoxical 'C'. Heat is excessive energy, which reduces to information. The fourth dimension involves paradoxical properties, the resolution of which is the expansion into many dimensions." ---Nathan Coppedge, Dimensional Physics Toolkit (some years away).

"One can't contradict desire with the will; but determinism is inherently contradictory." ---Nathan Coppedge



"I won't deny that fate is addictive, but I will deny that freedom is condemned." ---Nathan Coppedge



"Today we authenticate truth; tomorrow we will derivate infinity." ---Nathan Coppedge


" 'Infinitely strange' is the literal definition of the quantum loops some people are talking about. And, I think basically that doesn't view the whole picture. 'Infinitely strange' is just an idea about how to not infinitely follow the loop. We need to remember there might still be something missing from the picture. Even reality might change, particularly if we are regarding different aspects of it. Physics, like philosophy, should aspire to range over things unseen. Some of them determining known laws."
---Nathan Coppedge


"I don't have a lot of faith, but I have some confidence" ---Nathan Coppedge, on the prospects of perpetual motion (2015).

"Identity is a great concept, but may in the end merely be an application for comprehending objects that exist in space. The objects vary so much that it is useless to call them just senses. Sometimes the objects are more real than the senses. Sometimes the sense comes from the object, and sometimes the sense IS the object." ---Nathan Coppedge, via Quora.


"Complexity is genuine nature. Perfection is genuine experience. Both are outside of development. Both are more universal than civilization." ---Nathan Coppedge, Spiritual Writings.

IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO METAPHYSICS

Is 'X' happening? Someone could guarantee that it is happening rather cheaply, why not?

It is a different question whether two things are separate.

Are two things happening?

Well, we can ask, does that mean one thing isn't happening, or does it just mean something more complex is happening?

Or does it in fact mean we can reduce the criteria for one thing happening, sinc it now consists of less unified complexity, one argues (like 2 is the sq. rt. of 4)?

I find this last explanation most reasonable.

Evidently, something could be less unified without being less real.

And yet, the division retains an efficiency in explaining complexity.

Apparently, reality is efficient (un-unified or un-complex), or else necessarily real, in the sense of retaining complexity.

Now we can ask, is it s a potential universe? Perhaps only if its potential can be actualized. For example, as a thought experiment, we don't know that the universe is not perception.

It is unfair to treat the universe as necessarily ONLY objective, if the non-objective is what we supposedly perceive.

But, it seems more likely that the universe has potential where it can be actualized, than that it is either non-objective or objective specifically.

For, what tells us that it is necessarily one way and not another? That is like imposing a moral paradigm.

It is more like it just IS or ISN'T.

Now we reach the ultimate idea, that THE POTENTIAL IS THE ACTUAL.

The universe itself is undergoing EVOLUTION.

About my life...

WHY DON'T WE HAVE A TAGSALE AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT STUFF CONSERVATIVELY --- TvV --- SS$ -- C$B

I live alone, in New Haven, CT. I get inspiration from a spattering of book sales, and moderate web traffic. I'm a web statistics addict.

I visit my mother many of my weekends. She lives in Guilford, CT in her new and enormous, although not completely perfect house. She and her second husband  keep chickens in the side of the yard. The back yard is about 4 acres, and has a river behind it, and at least two sort of defunct apple trees.

I go to her house to use the internet and improve my social life (what of it there is: hard to understate the matter). What I care about are intellectual things, although I'm still finishing my undergraduate degree, so I can't boast as much as some people can. I thought I would be done with college a decade ago, but mental illness set in (paranoid schizophrenia, which I prefer over depression). For those that don't know, I have published over 40 books this year through my CreateSpace account. Most of them haven't sold any copies, but the Nathan Coppedge's Perpetual Motion Machine Designs & Theory---a version of material that I have made available on the web since 2006, with many updates----has sold over 50 copies now. Overall, I've exceeded my minimal goal of selling 100 books in 5 years. In fact, it's only been three years since I first published at AuthorHouse. That was a big mistake, but it gave me some confidence to find a new publisher (with some encouragement from my mother).

Three critical reviews of my work have given me encouragement:

"You are clearly a philosopher of this present age" --- Jamal Martin, quoted at Project-Syndicate.org, where I have posted many detailed comments on high-profile articles.

"Who is credited with 'the theory of perpetual motion'? Several scientist (sic) has been credited for their theories of Perpetual Motion such as Isaac Newton, Nathan Coppedge, and Albert Einstein." ---KGBANSWERS.CO.UK

"Nathan Coppedge, philosophical writer and artist in Hyper-Cubis(m) has impressive work in perpetual motion on his websites" ---Ramesh Maneria, PhD.

It is my hope that, at least privately (publically online), my reputation will improve and I will be considered a great man. If most of my dreams come true, I will take immortality medicine and found institutions before there is any danger of death.

It's the subtle things that matter, and I try to keep accounts of the small details that contribute to general well-being over time.

I don't smoke or drink. I haven't ever had sex (at least not in this life). I've gained a little weight from my medication, but I don't really over-eat. Sex is too dangerous, so far. Although I think I was offered sex once or twice. Hard to tell what that means, sometimes.

Life is okay, because I'm not depressed, and although I'm 32 I have money from a Social Security benefits program for disabled people (schizophrenia). I thank goodness that my I.Q. is above average and my family doesn't cause too much trouble, and I don't have any criminal friends.

If there's innocence in this, it's not the worst kind of innocence. Sometimes I can predict that I'll be innocent when I'm 62. My wisdom is behind me. Now I'm trying to live my life by being forwards-thinking. Some wisdom is ahead, but it isn't the struggle it used to be. And I shouldn't gloat, because I'm still socially dysfunctional (don't use your imagination, it's mostly ordinary and lonely on the surface). It all adds up to what I planned for, minus some sanity and minus a professorship.

I no longer plan to be a professor. I've probably said this before. That was the sophomoric hurdle. As soon as I'm qualified, I have a larger view of life. But at the same time, I've never gotten there.
